Continuous delivery is becoming increasingly critical but it still remains a hard problem many enterprises struggle with. We will present lessons learned from the CI/CD transformation of 1000s of legacy monolith applications and how to achieve new levels of automation for cloud applications in day 0 and day 1+ scenarios.

We will show how to fully automate to achieve true continuous delivery using Ansible and Avi. We will show how to use analytics to express and automate application evaluation and ML-based traffic switching without any downtime.

Attendees of this webinar will learn:

- What Canary and Blue/Green continuous delivery patterns are
- What decisions are involved in continuous delivery
- How to define and measure SLAs as applications are upgraded
- How to avoid service and traffic disruptions during the continuous delivery
- How to automate continuous delivery using Ansible and Avi

Security breaches are on the rise. According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report 2018, web application attacks are the number one source of breaches, but web application security—especially as web applications are increasingly deployed outside of traditional on-premise environments—is lagging. As a result, regulations and compliance needs are increasingly reinforcing the need for web application security. This webinar will focus on regulations such as GDPR, PCI DSS, and HIPAA and their impact on what you need to do for web security. You will learn how advances in Web Application Firewalls and application insights can help you achieve your security and compliance goals.

Microsoft Azure is the cloud platform of choice for many enterprises to run their applications. Migrating applications to Azure requires specific strategies for application networking services such as load balancing, visibility, and performance monitoring. We have developed a step-by-step guide to setting up scalable application networking services in Microsoft Azure based on the application migration experiences of Fortune 500 enterprises.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

Best practices for load balancing in Microsoft Azure
Analyzing application performance
How to elastically scale applications on demand
Ways to optimize deployments across hybrid clouds

The adoption of public cloud is gathering momentum. Organisations such as Adobe are hosting mission critical and customer facing applications in Azure for instance. Such applications do however need full enterprise grade services such as load balancing to deliver the quality application experience that customers expect, but also to streamline and automate the delivery of the applications. That is why Adobe deploys Avi in Azure for many of its applications
Join our webinar to learn about Next-gen application networking services from Avi Networks, where we discuss:
•Enterprise-grade load balancing for Microsoft Azure applications and the simplicity of migratingapplications.
•Central management across multiple Azure VNets.
•Consistent application architecture across Azure and data center.
•Automated provisioning of load balancers with on-demand cloud-native experience. Complete REST APIs for automation and integration for Azure VNets, scale-set, and Azure DNS.
•Simplified operations with application visibility and performance insights.
•Elastic scale-out of load balancers and back-end application servers based on real-time traffic data.
We look forward to seeing you on the webinar.

A load balancer lives in a critical position between your applications and your end-users. This placement can deliver incredible value in terms of analytics, performance, and cost savings—but only if your load balancer is architected realize this potential. This live workshop will explore the technology and value behind the Smart Load Balancer. As an attendee, you will:

• Learn differences between Smart Load Balancers and Legacy Load Balancers.
• Understand the value of Smart Load Balancers in traditional and modern use cases.
• See a live demonstration of Avi Networks’ Smart Load Balancer in action.

ZK Research conducted a recent study of the Application Delivery Controller (ADC) market and finds that the landscape for load balancers and ADCs is rapidly changing in the face of these market forces.

• Common application delivery challenges
• On-premises vs. cloud considerations for ADCs
• Trends in delivering cloud-native applications
• Trends in troubleshooting
• Future solutions being considered
• What are the features most in demand that network engineers aren't getting

Avi Networks has launched a new intelligent web application firewall (iWAF) that performs 50X faster than legacy appliances, processing hundreds of Gbps of throughput and over a million transactions per second. As a software-only solution, iWAF operates as a centrally managed fabric across data centers, private clouds, and public clouds. Register for this webinar to learn about the unique capabilities of Avi Networks’ iWAF include:

Application services such as load balancing and network performance monitoring, need to be implemented or approached differently in the context of container-based microservices applications. This is particularly relevant to running containers at scale where open source solutions do not offer the functionality required.

The Avi Vantage platform integrates seamlessly into container-based environments, enabling the flexible deployment of load balancing, service discovery, service proxy, application mapping, and auto-scaling functionalities in Mesos, Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, and other container platforms. Thanks to the integrated Analytics Engine it is finally possible to display end-to-end visibility and performance monitoring for microservices. Based on real-time traffics and application performance, applications can be automatically scaled to meet the growing popularity of applications, without slump in performance.

About the speaker:
James Sherlow has extensive network engineering experience gained in both the private and public sectors. Through many years of practical engineering experience and research, he has become an acknowledged expert in networking, containers, container management and orchestration, cyber security and threat intelligence, as well as in the secure application delivery of applications across any cloud.

Applications in your data center, and your IT operations, demand agile, cost-effective load balancing solutions. Traditional ADC (application delivery controller) vendors such as F5 Networks or Citrix NetScaler have done little to address the needs of modern applications and cloud-native use cases. Instead, they force you down the path of expensive and inflexible hardware refreshes without addressing the fundamental challenges of elasticity, automation, hybrid-cloud use, and cost.

Hybrid cloud is becoming an increasingly common deployment model, where companies utilize both internal cloud environments, as well as public cloud environments (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, etc). There are many advantages to such an approach, including flexibility, data privacy, and cost.

Avi Networks helps hybrid cloud deployments with cloudbursting via multicloud support and application AutoScale. Avi Vantage has native support for multiple cloud environments from the same controller cluster, allowing for a true single pane of glass view into your load balancing environment, regardless where it lives.

Ansible is one of the best tools to automate operations and get more out of your network. Avi Networks extends the automation objectives of Ansible deployments with fully automated load balancing and application services across any cloud or data center environment

But automation often means writing code using REST APIs. What if you could automate all your L4-L7 services without writing code! See how you can achieve complete automation of application services in the cloud or data center with an easy cookbook approach.

App teams are excited about using microservices architectures and containers. Running a few containers in a dev environment with a few open source tools is very different from running large clusters with thousands of containers supporting production applications. In this three-part tutorial, Avi Networks CTO, Ranga Rajagopalan explains step-by-step with examples, the services needed and practical considerations in deploying production-ready, container-based applications.

Episode 3: Ranga will cover the concepts of gearing up for the day 2 operations such as availability, upgrades, migrations, etc. In this closing episode, Ranga will discuss the concepts of:
